Our invention. consists of a guard for an.

electric heater the same being composed of a I central ringof the guard isformed.

ing a strong,-

series of arms, and a ring which latter centrally gathers and connects the former forminexpensive, durable and practic'al device for the purpose intended." The invention is satisfactorily illustrated in the accompanying drawing, but the imr portant instrumentalities thereof may be varied, and so it'is to be understood that the .invention is not limited to .the specific de-.

tails shown and described, as long as they are-within the spirit or scope of the claims.
